Chapter 34

Today, I was looking at flowers and was being joined by whip at the icebergs to sort out tables and decorations.

I kissed whip goodbye wishing him luck...thought he might need it if he's going to visit Matt..least he had Mouse with him. My girls came through the door with my mum, I was about to bite into my toast when 'we have no time for that!' My mum said taking my toast from me 'muuuuum I'm hungry!!!' 'We can get something out' I deep sighed and walked out....I wanted my toast...

We got to the florist that said they specialised in wedding bouquets. We walked in I kinda knew what I wanted but I needed some serious help...I was about to ask the woman for her assistance when my phone rang 'hello?' 'Oh my god help!' I laughed 'hello whip, what's up?' 'The man who runs the stall....he keeps flirting with meee' he was whispering so Matt was obviously there, this caused me to laugh till I was crying 'yeah he is lovely so glad I invited him to the wedding' 'youuuu WHAT!!?' 'He gave me 50% off...he's lovely just slightly gay' 'SLIGHTLY!?' I kept getting looks from the girls 'okay Hun I gotta goo...byeeee love youuuu byeeee' I said trawling off so he couldn't interrupt and get out of the shop...i knoww I'm cruelll..

'What flowers do you want? Do you have any idea?' We looked at each other and all of us shook our heads, she smiled softly 'right, okay what's your wedding dress like?' I showed her a picture 'that's beautiful' I smiled 'thankyou' 'right I think orchids will be best, I know they were used at funerals but nowadays...weddings' right okay I had no idea what type of flower it was I just went with it 'do you have a theme? A running colour?' 'Yes blue, but it's a lifeguard blue' thinking shed probably have no idea what I was on about she nodded and smiled 'that's a lovely blue!' I looked at her wide eyed 'you know the colour?' 'I assume you mean the local lads...bondi?' I nodded 'I watch the show' she smiled 'im getting married to one of them' I beamed 'which?!' 'Whippet' 'ohh he is a lovely lad, and seems to have found a lovely girl' she smiled and walked into the back of the shop, 'aww she's lovely' I cooed 'inviting her as well?' Al joked...clearly still annoyed I'd invited Matt 'yes what a lovely idea!' Al again wasn't to pleased...

The woman who we found out was called Claire came back with the most beautiful of flower bouquets I'd ever seen. It was a big bunch of white orchids with long stalks...they were tied together with a piece of blue ribbon and into a perfect bow. 'I can add blue crystals to the middle of them if you like, give them I bit of sparkle' 'that'd be wonderful'. she smiled pleased her work had impressed, 'do your bridesmaids need anything?' Damn hadn't thought of them...bad bride to be bad! I stuttered 'what about flowers in their hair? I can make you clips with blue orchids on them with gems and ribbon?' This woman was GOOD. 'That would be great' I laughed she nodded and walked over to the counter 'right when would you like these for?' I paused '23rd march?' 'But that's in less than 4 months' I nodded 'I can do that that's fine' she smiled 'would you like to come to the wedding?' I blurted out 'oh you don't have to invite me' 'no, I want to' I smiled 'that's sweet...I'd love too thankyou' 'we also need flowers for the tables' i added 'leave it with me' she wrote down the order and we went out satisfied.

Next stop...join whip and mouse in Matts shop to try on bridesmaid dresses...we walked in the shop and found whip stood, legs apart arms out with a suit on, Matt was touching every place he could without getting into trouble...this scene reminded me of a scene in F.R.I.E.N.D.S when chandler gets 'cupped' by the suit maker...I was waiting for the cupping....'WHOA WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?' Haha there it was...'babe he's got to make sure it fits' 'yeah but he ...he...yaknow he..' He made gestures with his hands 'Yes dear, all over now' he stood up straight pulling on his jacket Matt stood there with a big grin on his face, 'right mouse......moussseeeee, MOUSE!' He was sat on the stairs rolling about on the floor with laughter 'OI!' He sat up straight 'you're next' well that took the smile off his face.. They both disappeared into the changing rooms, Matt came and sat next to us 'you've got a good one there!' He winked. They both came out, Whip had a lifeguard Blue coloured shirt on under a black suit, and a black tie, mouse had the same on but his shirt was white, and he also had a tie on. 'What do you think hunny?' Matt asked 'whip lose the tie' he took it off and undid the first few buttons 'perfect, mouse Loosen the tie slightly, we don't want you strangling yourself' he did so and looked more comfortable. 'Right can we have those please Matt' he jumped up and went to the till to write it down 'I'll discount you again!!' He yelled.

When he came back, whip and mouse had changed, they were sat on the sofa and Al and Jo were stood ready...'I've found the PERFECT dresses for the girls' he disappeared and came back with two knee length dresses, they looked similar to mine the bustier was similar too, but these dresses were the lifeguard blue 'how did you find these?! They're perfect!' He shrugged and smiled at me, the girls took them and tried them on, 'we look amazingggg!' They giggled spinning round swishing the dresses 'what shoes do they have?' He brought out two pairs of flip flops, blue in colour to match the dresses but they had beautiful diamonds on the straps. He put them down in front so they could step into them, they matched perfectly! 'You've done it again Matt' 'oh it's nothing' he shrugged 'have them for free' 'no! I can't have the shoes for free!!' 'Oh yes you can hunny, I don't mind' 'if you're not careful you're gunna go out of business' I laughed hugging him 'oh hunny didn't I tell you about the celebs I've had in?' I nodded. We went to the desk and paid. He knocked off again 50%.

We put the dresses and suits in the car dropped mouse off at work, the girls at the cafe and headed to the icebergs...

The owner had drawn out a plan and layout of how the room was going to look. Everything was colour coordinated with the Blue theme. 'I just want to say thank you so so much, For the wedding venue' 'it's the least I could do after Ryan here saved my daughter' a young girl then came into the room 'Ah here she is now' she had blonde plaits down either side of her face she was very pretty and looked a lot better than the last time I saw her, I smiled at her she smiled back nervously. 'Hun go and get the things you made' we watched as she went to the back room and came back with a glass square jar that had pebbles in the bottom a blue flower sat on them, it was filled with water and had a candle bobbing on top. She disappeared again this time bringing back another smaller glass bowl half filled with sand with a candle sat in the middle surrounded by a starfish and shells...Perfect table decorations 'I made these for your wedding' she said quietly, almost in a whisper. 'They're lovely' I smiled softly at her 'how many you think you can make?' Asked whip 'as many as you like' she got more confidence 'well I think we need one on each table at least' I continued 'okay' she smiled 'we have flowers to go on the tables too, think you can work round them?' She nodded smiling 'of course' we thanked them both, they'd done an amazing job, this wedding was going to be perfect.

When we got home I flopped on the sofa 'you okay?' 'Yeah I'm tired' I said nodding off next I knew I was being carried up the stairs 'you're the best' I mumbled 'yeahhh ino' I frowned whilst smiling 'blow your own trumpet' he laid me down in the bed and pulled up the covers 'the dogs got food?' 'Yes' 'you fed them?' 'Yes' 'they okay?' 'Yess' 'you coming to bed?' 'Yeessss' I smiled and pulled up the duvet to snuggle into.

The next day was our engagement party that we had to reschedule due to mouse being ill but all good again for the following night.
